'I accepted Tell Me O Khuda because of Rishi Kapoor'

Meltem, a known face on television in her country, has her own show called The Meltem Cumbul Show. She has done a few supporting roles in films like Bay E and Bocek too.

The 40-year-old actress is now very excited about her foray in Bollywood. "My parents would watch a lot of Indian movies in Turkey. So I grew up watching them. My mother's favourite actor was Raj Kapoor. I accepted Tell Me O Khuda because of Rishi Kapoor (who is Raj Kapoor's son), and also for my family, who love Indian movies," she explained.

'Shah Rukh Khan has so much power on screen'

While it was Rishi Kapoor's presence in Tell Me O Khuda that made her say yes to the film, Meltem is now itching to work with Shah Rukh Khan. "I think he is a wonderful actor. He has so much power on screen," she says.

Will we see more of her in Hindi films? Meltem sure wishes so. "There are so many things that I like about India but I like the acceptance that I see in people most," she smiles.
